Barron has been one of the clearest winners since Danny Rohl took charge at Rangers, evolving into a midfield heartbeat with his energy, intelligence and fearless approach. His performances have not only won over supporters but also positioned him as a key pillar in Rohl’s rebuild.
That’s why Rangers’ reported interest in another high-profile central midfielder has caused genuine intrigue. Sources suggest Rohl is targeting a player with a similar box-to-box profile — a move that could intensify competition in the very area where Barron has excelled.
While some see the potential arrival as a vote of ambition, others believe it could disrupt Barron’s momentum after his rapid ascent. However, those close to the club insist Rohl views competition as non-negotiable, with depth and tactical flexibility crucial for sustained success domestically and in Europe.
Rather than unsettling Barron, the move may instead underline how highly Rohl rates him — confident enough in the 22-year-old’s mentality to thrive under pressure and elevate his game even further.
At Ibrox Stadium, standards are rising. And if recent evidence is anything to go by, Connor Barron won’t be fazed — he’ll see it as another challenge to conquer.
